STUDENTS experienced the grace and rhythm of dance at a workshop designed to examine the art form.

Dancers Merville Jones and Emma Langhorne put members of North Yorkshire County Youth Dance Company through their paces. The group demonstrated basic techniques before performing set pieces during the Northallerton College event.

Students took part in a number of dance workshops during the day.

The college's co-ordinator of performing arts, Pam Bayston, said: "The day was designed to give the students an insight into discipline and creativity of dance."
